Fear. Hope. Rebellion. Andromeda Victoria is a Listener, someone with the ability to tap into the planet's collective consciousness. Although it's the newest step in human evolution, her people are sequestered to Sector XL-18, a flood-ravaged area that once housed the grandeur of New York City.

The DollHouse
I want to be more than what they say I am. "We were told that in the early days of implementing the Motherhood project there were protests. ... but when I look at my own mother, I can't help but feel that some of them were relieved. They just handed over their kid, like a pair of car keys, and told the State to make sure it didn't get scratched." In seventeen year old Cameron Bree's world, parents are not allowed to raise their children for fear they'll do it wrong. To further ensure these children grow up to be model citizens, the State conducts regular personality tests to determine if they are innately good or innately evil. But what does it mean when you can cheat the test?
